The WORLD ONE MARKET.
Famins No Longer ia he Feared

Pamins No Longer To he Feared
Uniformity OF Prices.
ID. A. Wells in Popular Science for August /
One of the most momentous and
what may be called humanitarian re.
suits of the recent great extension
and cheapening Of the worlds rail.
way system and service is, that there
Is now no longer any occasion for the
people OF any country INDUCING in
either excessive hopes or fears as to
the results of any particular harvest.
inasmuch as the failure of crops In
any one country is no longer, as it
was no later than twenty years ago,
identical with high prices of grain,
the prices of cereals being at present
regulated, not within any particular
country, but by the combined pro-
ductioo and consumption OF all
countries made mutually accessible
by r ilroads aud steamships. Hence
it 10 that since 1870 years of locally
bad crops in Europe have generally
witnessed considerably lower prices
than years when the local crops we're
good, and there was a local surplus
for export.
In short, one marked effect of the
present railroad and steamnhip sys-
tenn OF transportation has been to
compel a uniformity of prices for all
commodities that are essential to
life, and to put an end forever Ia
what, less than half a century ago,
was constant feature Of commerce,
namely, the existence of local mar
kets with widely divergent prices for
such commodities. How much OF
misery and starvation a locally def
cient harvest entailed under the old
system upon the poorer classes
through the absence OF opportunity
Of supplying the deficiency through
importations, is shown by the cir.
cumstance that in the English de-
bates upon the corn laws, about the
year 1910, it was estimated, upor
data furnished by Mr.. Tooke, in hi,
History of Prices" that a def
cheney of one.sixth in the English
harvest resulted in rise Of at leas
100 per cent, in the price of grain;
and another estimate by Davenaui
and King, for the close Of the seven
teenth century, corrOborates this ap
parently excessive statement.

ABOUT THE WEED.
A chat with Leading Dealers Re-
Esrding tho Tobacco Crop.


IN. o. Tims,-DemOcrat.l
A representative Of the Times.
Democrat was out among the whole
sale and retail tobacconists OF the
city yesterday, with a view Of ascer,
tanning the condition of the tobacco
crop this as compared with other
years. both at home and abroad.
Said Mr.. lsidore Hernsheim
The tobacco crop in Kentucky, Ten
nessoe, Southern Indiana aud Iii
nois, where the greater portion Of the
export tobacco is grown, will not ex-
coed 10 per cent. under the most IA.
vorable conditions OF the weather.
This falling of is due TO the severe
drouth OF June, which is the month
devoted almost exclusively to the
planting oil tobacco. An advance Ell
over FIVE cents per pound has taken
place in the low grade Of hurley to-
bacco, home product, which il
equal 81 200 per cent. ON the amount
for which same was selling ninety
days ago. This advance is owing not
only TO the short crop, but to the or
ganization OF q syndicate that have
purchased an unusually large amount
Of tobacco for speculative purposes.
THE demand Tor the hurley brand
IL steadily Increasing and is being
generally Used by our manufacturer
as filler ia chewing tobacco. Ii il
mild and sweet and absorbs licquoriee
much moro readily than SEINE other
tobaccos. The taste OF chewers has.
undergone great change in the past
ten Yeas. Formerly there was but
small quantity OF liquorice en-
pl0yed in thu manufacture OF tobac-
co, while now many OF the most
note manufacturers OF the country
use fully 10 per cent. Of liquorice and
sugar. In our section trade gcner-
ally demands fine cut tobacco, which
is used for both smoking aud chew
| ipg purposes, Trade in this article
is rapidly increasing. Some of orr
manufacturers export fine cut TO
Germany a1d England, where il Is
meeting with mach favor. Only
yesterday our firm received an order
for a considerable shipment TO Ham
burg, and we are regularly shipping
TO Southern and Central American
ports"
Referring to tho crop in Havana,
Mr.. Horsheim said:
Havana tobacco last year did not
give general satisfaction on account
OF It's bad burning qualities. IL had
not matured sufficiently, aud the
favor was, therefore, very Inferior.
Most smokers like cigars much
mildor than they formerly did. and
the greater part OF last years oror
was stong aud rank. This year
however, while the crop il much
smalles, the prospect is that Il viii
give more eonerAl satisfaction e
consumers"
A number Of retail dealers wer,
also sSen relative TO the cultivation
OF tobacco in Havana. They argued
that the crop would be worry much
shorter this year than usual, which
they attributed 10 tho fact tina
Cuba has and is losing a very lars,
position Of the trade OF the Unite,
} States, The quality Of tobacco, the,
inrther agree, u not 30 good as here
toiore, and the greater part OF III,
leaf shipped TO this coantry is srud
. and immature.

THEIR VIEW OF II.

An Oregon journal, speaking Of the re-
cent act Of Grover Cleveland In vetOing
the river and harbor bill, said, that pook-
citing that bill had lost Oregon to the
democratic party. Whereupon one Of
the sober minded, fair-plsy loving jour
nails of democratic Texas remarks:
"This means that II the democrats
want Oregon they can buy II with an
appropriation from the public purse.
The republicans would have probably
made the trade II they had possessed the
president with which to do It,"
This insinuation is worthy OF notice
only in that it is q manifestation Of the
sense Of political honesty In the mind Of
the democratic journalist Of the Texas
stamp. That mind cannot conceive Of
any political act of the administration
that could estrange the vote Of state
from the party 1t represents. That
mind sees nothing, knows nothing Of a
change Of political sentiment honestly
wrought by political causes, and looks
only for a matter OF bargain and
sale in all actions and transactions
which reveal any change In political SEN
timent. This is so natural at the south,
where, once democrat. always q demo-
crat; has passed into proverb, that one
ceases to wonder at it. There are indi-
cations, however, that the political ideas
OF the north are invading the south as
well as northern energy and capital.
The time is coming, not very distant
either, when this idea OF a solid south
will be no longer tensble. 1t will then
be seen, what is not now recognized,
that political parties mean more than
the names they bear, and that when they
cease to meet the changed views OF
those who have supported them, they
will no longer receive that support, once
so blindly accorded them without due
enquiry into the principles and policies
which that party name represented.
When that time comes, 1t will not be
possible for any intelligent journalist to
write as the one above quoted has.

lively considered. st. John and his crowd

AN IMpIOUS ACT,

The anti churchmen do themselves no
honor in burlesquing the rites OF the
church, and invoking her solemnities on
trivial or inopportune occasions. Much,
and justly. as the meaningless ceremony
OF opening all kinds Of assemblages with
prayer may be criticized, II does not
justify the action Of the president Of the
Bre wmaster's convention at Chicago In
opening the meeting OF that Brewers
assembly with a burlesque prayer, fol-
lowed by bacchanalisn music. That 1t
is In good taste to open dairy assemblies,
and political conventions, and fair
ground associations at which horse rae
ing forms part Of the programme, and
banqnets where drinking wine is the
chief feature OF the ocoasion-that 1t In
good taste 10 open these with prayer is
very questionable. Most minds decid-
ly revolt against the action as lncongru-
Gus. Still, the act, when performed, is
performed In good faith by some one
who believes In such act
OF prayer, and is not an impious and
hypooritiosl performance positively in
tended to bring religious feeling and
forms into ridicule. This cannot be
said OF that mockery OF religious
things witnessed In the Brewers con-
vention. For that act there was no ex-
ouse. The ruthless trsmpling upon the
sacred feelings of all churches and
church goers, as was done In that act, Is
deserving only Of the strongest condem-
nation. Ii was a wantOn violation OF
the ssnctities Of religious feeling, which
have become an In heritance OF all
lands and Of all ages, and which no
rightminded spirit would unnecessarily
offend. The act is one very much to be
regretted. as atiording occasion for con-
founding the industry represented with
the carricature OF religion which open
ed Its deliberations. The LIGHT Is any
thing but fanatical In matters OF relig-
ion. At the same time 1t emphatically
protests against such violation Of the
religious sense Of mankind, as was wit
messed In that Bre wer's assembly. A
man may have no belief In prayer, as &C.
cepted by the church, but he must re-
speot the belief that is in others.

THE KlEBERC ANkS.

The,WscO Examiner, the custom Post,
the BsstrOp Advertiser an the Bren-
ham Banner have all camped District
Attorney Kleberg's trail, and ar hound
ing him with the old cry-''turn the
radical rascal out" The entire front
and rear Of Attorney Kleberg's Offend
ing consists in his desire to maintain
inviOlste the law Of this land, and main
tain in Texas a representative form OF
government Strip the complaints made
against Kleberg Of all their pretense;
leave the naked truth to be seen, and
there II is. Kleberg insists,a as Uncle: ms
attorney, that the representative orm
Of government guaranteed by [ ncle
Sam to every state in this Ame can
union, shall not be subverted by an one
In bis district. Simply this and nothing
more. All the stunning cries Of dema-
gogues from now until doomsday will
not alter this fact. In Washin ton
county the will Of the majority
Of the voters expressed at the bal
lot box was subverted by a democratic
disregard Of law, followed by violence
and bloodshed to cover up the evidences
Of their crime. For this they were in
dicted 10 the United States court. As
United States prosecutor, knowing the
desperate character OF the defence to be
made by an interested democracy, Mr..
Kleberg called In the assistance OF the
attorney whose reputation as prosecu-
tor for the government stood highest In
his district. This is the Alpha and the
Omega Of his offending. Write IL down
In letters large and plain; the democracy
Of Texas are afraid to have republican
attorney assist In prosecuting q demo-
cratic crowd for stealing ballot boxes
and numbering the witnesses Of their
crime. For asking such assistance they
demand the discharge Of the district at
torney at the hands OF a democratic
president. Let the infamy be accom-.
plished and such q storm will be raised
about his presidential ears az will stun
them beyond possibility Of ever bearing
the voice Of nominating convention
again.

ONB LIVED, The OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About Is months ago she became sickly
and had a cough and was confined to bed, and
it was thought that she had consumption The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief
In December, 1884, a node or knot the size of a
goose egg formed just above the pit of the
stomach, which, when lanced, discharged mat
ter for s or 9 months. One of these also
formed under her arm, and three on the back
which discharged matter for a considerable
tine. For six months of this time she was
confined to the house, and most of the time in
bed. The stomach often refused food, by re-
jecting what she had eaten. she used 8 great
deal of medicine, but failed TO be cured. /
bought one bottle of your B. b. b. made in
Atlanta, Ca and gave it to her, aud she COM
her three bottles more. and she continued to
improve and in two months time her cough
had ceased, her constitution strengthened
appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she
went to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman had married sister OF near the
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time She had
node or knot on pit of stomach, back, etc She
did not take any b. B. b and the node in
her stomach ate through the cavity. She con-
